Justin Bieber may be the poster child for innocent pop stars because he hasn’t had sex with his long-time girlfriend Selena Gomez, he is giving back to his family and community with his fame and he shows he is thankful to everything and everyone who idolizes him. However, the star has recently been caught in a scandal that involves a statement he made about Indonesia being a little irrelevant country, which in turn hurt his Indonesia fans.

Well, in a new interview, Bieber admits that he hasn’t always made the best decisions. In fact, he finds that there is so much pressure on him, which in turn makes him lose his ‘perfect pop boy image.’ “You know, there’s a lot of people that look up to me and I’m not always gonna be perfect,” Justin Bieber explained in an interview with TV4 Sweden. “At the end of the day I’m 18 — sometimes you’ve gotta make bad decisions to learn from them.”

Justin doesn’t go into detail as to the bad decisions he has made, but it sounds like he may have learned from his bad decisions or mistakes. Could that have been insulting an entire country or did he make some bad decisions in his relationship with Selena Gomez? In the interview, he explains that he isn’t perfect and has made mistakes during his life. But he is learning from them, at least that’s what he wants people to believe.

Can people trust him given he just insulted an entire country the other day without fully apologizing?
